Selection Theory

Selection Theory explains how certain traits or behaviors become more common in a population over time because they provide individuals with advantages in survival and reproduction. It’s based on the idea that natural differences among individuals—like strength, intelligence, or adaptability—affect their chances of thriving and passing on genes. Those with beneficial traits are more likely to reproduce successfully, leading these traits to spread through the population. This process shapes the development of species and their features in response to environmental pressures, emphasizing the role of natural choice in evolution.
